Use ssh-agent. After you start the msys shell enter: eval $(ssh-agent) Then you can use 'ssh-add' to add a key to the agent. If it requires a password then it will prompt you at that point. Now any further ssh activity in the current session can acquire the pre-authenticated key from the agent. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
